hello mr. Poetaster
can you please post steps to flash back
to android…and the “android rom”
ub recovery is on board…
with the ub port installer you can flash
only ubuntu touch?
@teracube “with the ub port installer you can flash only ubuntu touch?”
For my Volla phone, UBports installer homepage asked me to choose out of 4 possible OSes to install. This was last summer.
But maybe it’s different for different phone models and may change if the devs finish some new things.

First, wait till I’ve done some more testing 
I have NO SIMs showing in Volla OS at the moment, so I need to go a bit further. But, In short:
- Obtain the latest installer (0.9.7-beta, I think)?
- Plug a cable into a usb 2 port, but not yet phone
- Boot the phone (Vol+ & power) to the recovery/selection menu (select fastboot)
- Start the ubports installer
- Select ‘Select device manually’
- Select ‘Volla Phone 22’
- Select ‘Volla OS’
- Install
- Plugin the phone & on the phone, press enter on fastboot item
- The install should begin.

So, in short, the settings lose the required PIN setting for sim cards. Go to settings require sim. It’ll bring up the sim pin interface, enter the pin for the sim. Sometimes. Then the sim appears again and can be selected. It’s a bit odd. Have to do a set of boots and reboots to see when/if it sticks.

I reboot 10 times no simcard…wlan work
Iflashed from volla os back to sailfish…my System disk space is full only 50mb free…
how can i del the volla os from system disk???
Reflashed with multiboot function. Calling works now but booting is a problem. It takes 1-4 attempts before you get booted successfully with Sailfish. Usually always gets stuck on the Volla logo.
any news about broken sim on volla os…?
I just noticed that there is a mount point missing! And the main partition is almsot completely full. I’m not sure what’s going wrong here, but the sim is the least of the issues at the moment. I’ll ask @piggz when I have a moment.

ah, did you get the size of the root partition to something reasonable?
Thanks! That worked. But it looks like you MUST use crypto on the home volume, otherwise, it’s not properly created. I don’t like it.
Ok, because of the partition layout layout I use (/ in supser.img) and because of the way community-encryption works when using a loopback mount for home, its necessary to use encryption. When you dont use encryption, community encryption doesnt create the loop mount, and you will fill up your partition rather quickly. Ill try and add this in, but for now use encryption.

The volla os on gigaset looks verry good…

Volla OS SIM Problems
This most likely happens due to some critical NVDATA partition files losing correct permissions during normal operation of Ubuntu Touch (potentially Sailfish OS as well

Mr. Popoetaster an idea to make the SIM card on volla os to working…
Try setting a pin? That’s what got it going on SFOS for me. Trying to set a pin got me a prompt which didn’t work, but on reboot, I got prompted and it seemd to stick.
Settings → Security → Advanced, Simcard lock … I think.
I cant set a pin for simcard…simcard is not detectet
I had noticed the same thing, but hadn’t tried swapping slots? Or, wait till the phone is up and then insert the card?
